Development of high-performance nonprecious metal-based catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial to improve the efficiency of water electrolysis and photoelectrochemical water splitting for harvesting and storage of solar energy. Herein, Co–Fe phosphates and their composites with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method, which then acted as oxygen evolution reaction catalysts. In 1.0 M KOH aqueous solution, the as-obtained optimal composite, Co–Fe phosphate/rGO, can catalyze oxygen evolution reaction with a very sharp onset potential and a small over-potential of 338[Formula: see text]mV to achieve a current density of 10[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]. It was found that in these Co–Fe phosphates, the optimal Co:Fe ratio is 0.75:0.25. The excellent electrocatalytic performance of the Co–Fe phosphate/rGO composite would benefit from the synergistic effects between Fe and Co species, as well as rGO substrate providing conductive channels. The formed Co–Fe phosphate/rGO electrocatalysts can be the promising replacement of precious metal-based catalysts for more practical and cost-efficient water splitting.

The stability of porous coordination polymers during an electrochemical reaction could be improved by introducing supporter materials. An I3O0-type inorganic hybrid electrocatalyst, cobalt cinnamate, supported on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was successfully prepared for an oxygen evolution reaction. The electrocatalytic activity and stability of cobalt cinnamate(catalyst)/rGO composite were significantly improved due to the strong interaction between catalyst and supporter, which led to enhanced anchoring stability and electrical conductivity. The catalyst/rGO composite shows ~30 mV reduction in overpotential and improvement in durability from ≥35% to ≥70% after a reaction time of 12 h, compared to the catalyst alone.

The study reports a facile and eco-friendly approach for nanomaterial synthesis and enzyme immobilization. A corresponding glucose biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and glucose oxidase (GOD) multilayer films onto the polypyrrole (PPy)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) via the electrodeposition and self-assembly. PPy and graphene oxide were first coated on the surface of a bare GCE by the electrodeposition. Then, AuNPs and GOD were alternately immobilized onto PPy-RGO/GCE electrode using the electrodeposition of AuNPs and self-assembly of GOD to obtain AuNPs-GOD multilayer films. The resulting PPy-RGO-(AuNPs-GOD)n/GCE biosensors were used to characterize and assess their electrocatalytic activity toward glucose using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The response current increased with the increased number of AuNPs-GOD layers, and the biosensor based on four layers of AuNPs-GOD showed the best performance. The PPy-RGO-(AuNPs-GOD)4/GCE electrode can detect glucose in a linear range from 0.2 mM to 8 mM with a good sensitivity of 0.89 μA/mM, and a detection limit of 5.6 μM (S/N = 3). This study presents a promising eco-friendly biosensor platform with advantages of electrodeposition and self-assembly, and would be helpful for the future design of more complex electrochemical detection systems.
